Klein Tools RT210 Outlet Tester, Receptacle Tester for GFCI / Standard North American AC Electrical Outlets, Detects Common Wiring Problems

In particular, this product cannot reliably perform a test on an open surface. Neo bulbs require little current, so it can be used almost anywhere. My tester showed that the outlet had a good ground when I tested it with an outlet known to have an open Then the test will be the same but with a 15-millimeter I tried connecting the Hot to Ground light bulb, but nothing happened. We all learn as part of our electrical trade that the only way to find out if a circuit works is to put some No load is applied to the circuit when you are using this tester, so you are assured that you have a good ground when you don't. It boggles my mind because Klein has such a high reputation in the electrical tools market, but whoever makes this tester for them is making a dangerously defective one.

A couple of months later, the product broke despite my best care, despite it being used very heavily. My work vest still looks brand new even though it was tucked in. It shows an open ground even when the receptacle is properly wired due to a loose connection in the tester. You will see the lights flicker if you wiggle the tester inside the receptacle.

As part of new construction, for the first two days, everything worked as it should. As soon as that happened, open neutral was displayed. Just seeing the middle light flash let me know if the circuit is OK. I had thought Klein would be a quality brand. I was very disappointed with this tester. I am updating. To return the item the customer can return it for a refund within 30 days of the purchase date. Since I requested my refund before the 30 day period, now there is no way for it to arrive in time. Now It is highly recommended you give yourself a few days to reach your destination when you request a refund. That Klein product was so crappy, you'd think Klein products would be on a similar level as Snap-On. We now come to the.

This is a very useful tool for home inspectors as I use it every day. Initially it lasted for about 3 months, but then the ground plug became buried in the casing and the other prongs came A refund or replacement was requested in a warranty claim with Klein, but they never got back to me after two According to the manufacturer, it should have a 1-year It is true that many Klein products are excellent, but in recent years more and more people complain about Klein tools, and this is another complaint. They still need to stand by their claim that they'll give a full year warranty against manufacturer's defects, even though the product is inexpensive. A Sperry is the way to go. The one I am using now has a better grip and I am having good success with it.

Despite the tool being shipped in a shipping bag without manufacturer's packaging, it still arrived loose. It has no instructions, nor does it have a bubble card. This doesn't work, so we have to get rid of it. This indicates an open neutral position on all issues. It is incorrect for me to be able to turn on this computer if it is like that. It's disappointing that Klein was not on the show since he has a good reputation in this region.

The service technicians came to my apartment to investigate why all my APC battery backups and power strips kept indicating there was a fault with the wiring. Since I live in an apartment, I always ask the maintenance crew if there is a problem and they said there wasn't. All of my outlets showed me an open ground as well.
I tested all of my outlets. When I shut the power off and removed the outlets, I found that the grounding lines were all Having asked our maintenance crew again to check the outlets, they replied that they would. When it was shown that there was an open ground, they discovered that none of the ground lines actually ran through the back of I was able to avoid a fire or electric short/shock due to this little device. It is a good tool to have that just checks your outlets to make sure they work, even if it is for $9.

The wiring in my house was too good for anything else but 'ok' lights to appear at every outlet. As far as I'm concerned, I was not able to keep my house from burning down with any light combos. Reviewing isn't that hard, so why write one? Do not push the GFCI button unless you are okay with that happening. The little reset button on your outlet will make you think you pressed it correctly, but in fact, it blew them all through the It will cause your coffee maker to go crazy and you won't be able to make coffee in the morning, your alarm clock will go crazy when the back up battery runs low in the middle of the night, your clocks will become timeless, and your iphone will be on 25% power. The GFCI button really simulates an EMP in order to test the circuit. I'm really happy to hear you guys came up with this cool tool. It's a great tool to have around when you're You can check your outlets' wiring by plugging the device into them around the house. Sort of like an electronic stethoscope that tests the electrical health of a home you are considering.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to troubleshoot some outlets in my house and ordered this outlet tester. The product is very affordable and highly rated, so I decided to buy Why cannot I use them as well? I have seen electricians and home inspectors use them. The number of outlets I checked in my house must have been 25 and I found no less than 10 that were wired incorrectly. The hot and neutral wires were either reversed or they were not grounded, even though a grounding wire was After correcting all outlets, the testing is now as good as new. It was a literal lifesaver since miswired outlets could have caused a fire. We recommend this very highly!.
